And most probably doesn't need much either. I ran a 9-10 year old release of SuSE Linux until very recently, obviously long outdated and out of support, but I didn't need any. I'm using perl 5.8 and 5.10, so upping the minimum to 5.8 would be fine with me, but it's a very decent question to ask. I guess one key question is - would continued support for 5.6 hold back development or features in SA? If yes, it's worth upping the minimum. /Per Jessen, Zürich
